The inflated scoreline doesn't mean anything about the match.
We started off shakily and precariously, sometimes making a few errors here and there. We were intent on stopping their fast wing players, though when we failed we made up by placing our posts in the zone, stopping them and making them force their shots. The second quarter and third quarter, the speed and intensity of our play was kept, and we broke their press play which led to easy baskets. However, we did not bao wo all our shots and we missed a couple of underbaskets, which at this stage of the competition should not happen.
Fourth quarter, we collapsed to a 1-1-3 and played it well, making turnovers and fast breaking a lot, which resulted in the 26-99 deficit.
On the court, when the opponent gets a steal and engages a fast break, rush back on defense, don't think "oh no, they're going to score one basket anyway, i'l just get ready for offense then." Basketball is a TEAM sport, if you're unwilling to WORK as a team, we will never WIN as a team.
Raffles Basketball FTW!
Never give up
